NOTE 6 — AMP CREDITS

 

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized gross AMP credits totaling $2,772 within the Heavy Fabrications segment. These AMP credits were introduced as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”), which was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes advanced manufacturing tax credits for manufacturers of eligible components, including wind components. Manufacturers of wind components qualify for the AMP credits based on the total rated capacity, expressed on a per watt basis, of the completed wind turbine for which such component is designed. The credit originally applied to each component produced and sold in the U.S. beginning in 2023 through 2032. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), enacted on July 4, 2025, eliminates the credit for components produced and sold after 2027. Wind towers within the Company’s Heavy Fabrications segment are eligible for credits of $0.03 per watt for each wind tower produced. In calculating the eligible credit, the Company relied on the megawatt rating provided by the customers. Manufacturers who qualify for the AMP credits can apply to the Internal Revenue Service for cash refunds of the AMP credits, sell the AMP credits to third parties for cash, or apply the AMP credits against taxable income. The Company recognized the AMP credits as a reduction to cost of sales in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The assets related to the AMP credits are recognized as current assets in the “AMP credit receivable” line item in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. 

 

The OBBBA also introduced new restrictions on foreign supply chains and foreign owners or investors in tax-credit-supported facilities, referred to as “Prohibited Foreign Entity” or “PFE” restrictions. Taxpayers cannot claim AMP credits in taxable years beginning after enactment of the OBBBA if the taxpayers source from Prohibited Foreign Entities (which are generally entities that are formed in or controlled by covered nations, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as entities determined to be under effective control as a result of contracts entered into with such entities). AMP credits are also disallowed in taxable years beginning after enactment of the OBBBA for eligible components that receive material assistance from a PFE.  These restrictions generally took effect on January 1, 2026, and the Treasury Department is required to issue final regulations implementing them by December 31, 2026. On February 12, 2026, the Treasury Department released interim guidance that further clarified methods for calculating material assistance and included a request for comments by March 30, 2026. The Company cannot predict with certainty what the final guidance, or any other future guidance, will provide, or how it will impact the potential impact for the Company's AMP credits claimed in 2026 and future years.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized gross AMP credits totaling $2,772 and recognized a 6.5% discount on the credits totaling $180, which was recognized in cost of sales. The Company also incurred other miscellaneous administrative costs related to the credits in the amount of $21, which have been recorded as cost of sales. Additionally, costs totaling $5 are included in the “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” line item of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2026.
